Waxman Staff Writer Apr 7, 2015 4:27 PM UTC The bromantic pair from _Scrubs_ is getting into the wedding business. Zach Braff tweeted a photo of himself with an arm around Donald Faison, who played his partner in crime Dr. Christopher Turk on NBC’s beloved medical spoof. He wrote, “If you really and truly want pizza for your gay wedding in Indiana… We will make it for you. @donald\_faison.” This show of solidarity for gay rights activists and the larger LGBT community has racked up more than 8,100 retweets since last Friday afternoon. The reference to pizza alludes to the owners of a Walkerton, Ind., pizza parlor who [sparked outrage](http://time.com/3771465/indiana-no-gay-wedding-pizza-parlor-raises-money/) nationwide when they said they would not cater a gay marriage in the middle of the controversy over the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act. ### These Are the 11 Best Bromances of All Time  Brian O'Conner and Dominic Toretto in The Fast and the Furious Universal  Turk and J.D. in Scrubs Justin Lubin—ABC/Getty Images  Spock and Kirk in Star Trek CBS/Getty Images  Woody and Buzz in Toy Story Pixar/Disney  Cory and Shawn in Boy Meets World ABC/Getty Images  Sulley and Mike Wazowski in Monsters, Inc.
